Events are certainly Good to Go in Queensland, as yet another busy week of announcements continue to highlight the importance of events to the state's visitor economy.
Set to bring visitors from all over the country to their host destinations and stimulate local economies, as well as provide a platform for tourism promotion, dates are live and ticket sales and registrations are now open for the NRL Magic Round (14 - 16 May 2021) and the Gold Coast Marathon (3 - 4 July 2021). Yesterday it was announced that Cairns will host an International Basketball Federation (FIBA) qualifying match between the Australian Boomers and New Zealand Tall Blacks next week, and an event was announced this morning for the Whitsundays – ‘White on Whitehaven’ will become one of the hottest tickets around as visitors can wine and dine on delectable local produce with their toes in the white sands of Whitehaven Beach.
The future is also bright as event organisers continue to plan for international events, and the 2026 UCI BMX World Championships this week announced with Brisbane as the host.
Supporting events is a key part of TEQ’s strategy to drive visitation to, and around, the state, giving visitors an additional reason to book a Queensland getaway and generating significant spend with tourism operators in the host destinations.
